Des Moines remodels — East Passage marine climate, city dual tracks
Des Moines SMP covers Puget Sound marine shoreline — including the marina vicinity — generally 200 ft landward of OHWM. Bluff and marine lots typically need both Building Division worksheets and planning shoreline/land-use worksheets. This Board of Project Stewardship hub frames marine-climate envelope kitchens and baths plus shoreline-aware additions under City of Des Moines review.

Kitchens on Des Moines’ Marine View Drive corridor
Along Marine View Drive and marina-adjacent streets, mid-century kitchens face salt-air envelope stress Seattle inland ridges rarely see. Open a wall and Des Moines Building Division worksheets apply; bluff lots usually add planning shoreline packets on top. This Board section stays educational — layout honesty without invented appliance budgets.
Bath waterproofing on Des Moines Soundfront parcels
Marine exposure raises waterproofing stakes for baths — especially on bluff lots. Gut vs refresh is scope; plumbing moves follow building review. Shoreline jurisdiction can stack a second track even when the wet room itself looks interior.

Additions with shoreline awareness on East Passage lots meet marine SMP buffers that lake cities do not share. Inland streets still face coastal detailing habits. Sequence Building Division and planning shoreline worksheets before pricing a bump-out.
